The interest in this fixture will centre around North Melbourne’s finals chances with the Kangaroos sitting just outside the eight in 10th spot. They are just one win behind the likes of 6th placed Melbourne, Hawthorn (7th), Geelong (8th) and Sydney (9th).

Last weekend, the Roos accounted for 2nd placed West Coast by 40 points at Blundstone Arena in Hobart and they head into this as slight favourites in the early head to head betting.

Their opponents, Brisbane, are 16th on the ladder with just four wins for the season. They come off a 40 point loss at the hands of Geelong last weekend but the young side are dangerous on their day and they did enjoy a recent purple patch by winning three games on the trot.

Dayne Beams and Dayne Zorko have been among the Lions better players this year but if they Lions are to return to the form that saw them win those three games they will need big efforts from their younger players, including Hugh McCluggage, Jarrod Berry and the No.1 draft pick, Cameron Rayner. That trio were relatively quiet in the loss to the Cats last weekend.

North look to have the upper hand as a number of their big name players are in good form, including Shaun Higgins, who is a sneaky Brownlow Medal chance at the $21 quote, while Ben Brown looms large up forward. He leads the Coleman Medal count with 51 goals and will most likely line up on Harris Andrews.

A win for the Roos may see them level up on points with a couple of sides in the eight and with games against the Western Bulldogs, Adelaide and St Kilda to follow, they can sneak into what many thought was an unlikely proposition at the start of the year, that being a finals position

Brisbane have no fresh injury concerns arising out of the Geelong loss. Claye Beams and Liam Dawson are among those that are knocking on the door for selection. North Melbourne’s Jed Anderson suffered a concussion last weekend and will be monitored at training.

North Melbourne have won the past five games between the two sides, including the Round 11 clash this year at Etihad Stadium by 54 points. On that occasion, Shaun Higgins racked up 34 disposals, while Jack Ziebell booted three goals.

The Kangaroos have won their past three at the GABBA and were 51 point winners at the venue in Round 23 of 2017. They have won all three of their interstate games this season (excluding Tasmania). Brisbane have won just two of nine at their home ground in 2018.

Brisbane sit last on the ladder but only on percentage. They have the worst defence in the AFL but rank 13th in scoring. The Lions have been good over the last five weeks with two wins and two losses by 14 or less. Brisbane have posted at least 89 in four of their last five games.

North Melbourne have won just one of their last 11 matches and have conceded at least 107 points in seven of their last nine outings. They have just five wins for the season and rank 10th in scoring and 17th in defence. North have failed to post 80 in four of their last six.

The fight to avoid the wooden spoon comes down to one game for both sides as 18th-placed Brisbane Lions take on 17th-ranked North Melbourne in their last game of the home and away season.

The loser of the game ends up bottom of the pile for 2017, but picks up the number one draft…so who will suffer a bitter-sweet afternoon at the Gabba?

Despite going down by 13 points to Melbourne Demons last weekend, Brisbane have caught the eye somewhat in the second half of the season and are strong favourites to end the year on a high in front of their home fans.

North Melbourne, on the other hand, have endured a the second half of the campaign to forget, with just one victory in the last 11 games for the Kangaroos with the latest defeat coming against St Kilda last weekend.

The turnaround in form has left both sides with identical 5-16 records although North have a clear advantage in terms of percentage should this one end in an unlikely draw.

Can they muster one final effort and avoid the wooden spoon? Or will it be Brisbane who lift off bottom spot on Saturday afternoon?
